The Role of Economic Assistance in Overcoming the Consequences of Domestic Violence: an International Review

Abstract

Understanding the factors affecting the participation of women in paid work is necessary to assess the effectiveness of government programs aimed at reducing the gender gap in employment and improving working conditions for women. The purpose of the study is to obtain reliable and reasonable conclusions about the best practices and strategies for economic support for victims of domestic violence. This literature review studies the historical dynamics of women's employment in paid work and analyzes the factors affecting this process. Methodologically, the study uses a systematic review of the literature, a comparative analysis, a qualitative analysis of the data, and the systematization of information. A comparative analysis of different countries' approaches reveals the most effective practices, taking into account legislative acts, social programs, and economic initiatives. Examples from the USA, Austria, Sweden, and other countries show that security orders, police intervention, crisis centers, and economic support programs are key components. In Kazakhstan, recent legislative measures and the creation of crisis centers have become a step forward, although there are problems in solving issues of psychological and economic violence. The study emphasizes the importance of a multifaceted approach to the fight against domestic violence, including legal, preventive, protective, and economic support measures.
